Verdict

Young Fire has been beaten in this grade since scoring at Redcar in September while Protected Guest is upped in class back on the Flat after a spin over hurdles but Furzig is capable at this level and returned to form when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time with subsequent winner Yes My Boy behind. Richard Fahey’s charge can figure again but it could pay to stick with the progressive MAKE IT RAIN as she’s now won all three starts on the all-weather, including over course and distance last time, and there looks more to come.
